This function optionally get as a parameter DateTime which will be used as start point for the calculation of next trigger time. This function will return the next DateTime when something must happen.
Default realisation (CronDateTimeScheduler) can be created using several ways:
buildSchedule (or createSimpleScheduler) functions with crontab-like syntax parameterbuildSchedule (or SchedulerBuilder object), which using lambda to configure schedulerIn the examples below the result of created scheduler will be the same.
"},{"location":"krontab/describing/krontabscheduler.html#crontab-like-way","title":"Crontab-like way","text":"Crontab-like syntax
See String format for more info about the crontab-line syntax
This way will be very useful for cases when you need to configure something via external configuration (from file on startup or via some parameter from requests, for example):
val schedule = \"5 * * * *\"\nval scheduler = buildSchedule(schedule)\nscheduler.asFlow().onEach {\n// this block will be called every minute at 5 seconds\n}.launchIn(someCoroutineScope)\nIn case of usage builder (lets call it lambda way), you will be able to configure scheduler in more type-safe way:
val scheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\nat(5)\n}\n}\nscheduler.asFlow().onEach {\n// this block will be called every minute at 5 seconds\n}.launchIn(someCoroutineScope)\nYou are always able to use your own realisation of scheduler. For example:
class RandomScheduler : KronScheduler {\noverride suspend fun next(relatively: DateTime): DateTime {\nreturn relatively + DateTimeSpan(seconds = Random.nextInt() % 60)\n}\n}\nIn the example above we have created RandomScheduler, which will return random next time in range 0-60 seconds since relatively argument.

You always able to create your own scheduler. In this section will be presented different ways and examples around standard CronDateTimeScheduler builders buildSchedule. You can read about schedulers in KrontabScheduler
Currently, buildSchedule is the recommended start point for every scheduler. Usually, it is look like:
val scheduler = buildSchedule(\"5 * * * *\")\nOr:
val scheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\nat(5)\n}\n}\nOn the top of any KronScheduler currently there are several groups of extensions:
All executes are look like do.... All executes are described below:
doOnce - will get the next time for executing, delay until that time and call block with returning of the block resultdoWhile - will call doOnce while it will return true (that means that block must return true if it expects that next call must happen). In two words: it will run while block returning truedoInfinity - will call the block using doWhile with predefined returning true. In two words: it will call block while it do not throw errorShortcuts are the constants that are initializing in a lazy way to provide preset KronSchedulers. For more info about KrontabScheduler you can read its own page.
AnyTimeScheduler - will always return incoming DateTime as nextEvery*Scheduler - return near * since the passed relatively:EverySecondSchedulerEveryMinuteSchedulerEveryHourSchedulerEveryDayOfMonthSchedulerEveryMonthSchedulerEveryYearSchedulerHere currently there is only one extension for KronScheduler: KronScheduler#asFlow. As a result you will get Flow<DateTime> (in fact SchedulerFlow) which will trigger next emit on each not null next DateTime

"},{"location":"kslog/logging.html","title":"Logging","text":"Message type notice
On this page all the messages will be just simple String, but you may pass any object as the message
As has been said in the setup section, this library contains next levels of logging with their default representations on each platform:
Weight (by order) LogLevel name JS JVM Loggers Android 0 DEBUG console.log Level.FINEST Log.d 1 VERBOSE console.info Level.FINE Log.v 2 INFO console.info Level.INFO Log.i 3 WARNING console.warn Level.WARNING Log.w 4 ERROR console.error Level.SEVERE Log.e 5 ASSERT console.error Level.SEVERE Log.wtfEach of these levels have fullname and shortname shortcat extensions:
KSLog.debug/KSLog.d/KSLog.dSKSLog.verbose/KSLog.v/KSLog.vSKSLog.info/KSLog.i/KSLog.iSKSLog.warning/KSLog.w/KSLog.wSKSLog.error/KSLog.e/KSLog.eSKSLog.assert/KSLog.wtf/KSLog.wtfSAnd any of these shortcuts may accept one of several arguments combinations:
S suffix for suspendable messages creating, for exampleSo, when you want to log some expected exception, there are three common ways to do it:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.info(tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.infoS(tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.info(\"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.info(tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nOf course, any of this calls can be shortenned:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.i(tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.iS(tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.i(\"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.i(tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nThere is special shortcat - for base performLog. In that case the only change is that you will require to pass the LogLevel more obviously:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.logS(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nOR
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.lS(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nimplementation \"dev.inmo:kslog:$kslog_version\"\nimplementation(\"dev.inmo:kslog:$kslog_version\")\n<dependency>\n<groupId>dev.inmo</groupId>\n<artifactId>kslog</artifactId>\n<version>${kslog_version}</version>\n</dependency>\nThe main point in setup in your code is to setup default logger:
KSLog.default = KSLog(\"defaultTag\")\nYou may use custom messageFormatter in any of KSLog factory to customize output of KSLog logging. For example:
KSLog(\n\"loggingWithCustomFormat\",\nmessageFormatter = { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nprintln(\"[$level] $tag - $message: $throwable\")\n}\n)\nAdditionally you may use one of several different settings:
minLoggingLevel - minimal logging level for the log which will be logged. The order of log level is next:levels - and iterable with the levels which should be loggedfirstLevel,secondLevel,otherLevels - as levels, but vararg :)In case you are passing minLoggingLevel, the level and more important levels will be passed to logs. For example, when you are settings up your logger as in next snippet:
val logger = KSLog(\n\"exampleTag\",\nminLoggingLevel = LogLevel.INFO\n)\nThe next levels will be logged with logger:
INFOWARNINGERRORASSERTIt is logger which will call incoming performLogCallback on each logging. This logger can be create simply with one callback:
KSLog { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nprintln(\"[$level] $tag - $message: $throwable\")\n}\nIt is simple value class which can be used for zero-cost usage of some tag and calling for KSLog.default. For example, if you will create tag logger with next code:
val logger = TagLogger(\"tagLoggerTag\")\nThe logger will call KSLog.default with the tag tagLoggerTag on each calling of logging.
This pretty simple logger will call its fallbackLogger only in cases when incoming messageFilter will return true for logging:
val baseLogger = KSLog(\"base\") // log everything with the tag `base` if not set other\nval filtered = baseLogger.filtered { _, t, _ ->\nt == \"base\"\n}\nIn the example above baseLogger will perform logs in two ways: when it has been called directly or when we call log performing with the tag \"base\" or null. Besides, you can see there extension filtered which allow to create FilterKSLog logger with simple lambda.
This logger accepts map of types with the target loggers. You may build this logger with the special simple DSL:
val baseLogger = KSLog(\"base\") // log everything with the tag `base` if not set other\nval typed = buildTypedLogger {\non<Int>(baseLogger) // log all ints to the baseLogger\non<Float> { _, _, message, _ ->// log all floats to the passed logger\nprintln(message.toString()) // just print all floats\n}\ndefault { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nKSLog.performLog(level, tag, message, throwable)\n}\n}\nThere are two things which can be useful in your code: logger and logTag extensions. logTag is the autocalculated by your object classname tag. logger extension can be used with applying to any object like in the next snippet:
class SomeClass {\ninit {\nlogger.i(\"inited\")\n}\n}\nThe code above will trigger calling of logging in KSLog.default with level LogLevel.INFO using tag SomeClass and message \"inited\". As you could have guessed, logger is using TagLogger with logTag underhood and the most expensive operation here is automatical calculation of logTag.
loggerFor JVM you may setup additionally use java loggers as the second parameter of KSLog factory. For example:
KSLog(\n\"yourTag\"\nLogger.getLogger(\"YourJavaLoggerName\")\n)\nHello! This is a set of libraries for working with Telegram Bot API.

In this library there are several ways to use this API:
In the Bot API there is no independent sendLiveLocation method, instead it is suggested to use sendLocation with setting up live_period. In this library in difference with original Bot API live location is special request. It was required because of in fact live locations and static locations are different types of location info and you as bot developer may interact with them differently.
Anyway, in common case the logic looks like:
In difference with sendLiveLocation, startLiveLocation using LiveLocationProvider. With this provider you need not to handle chat and message ids and keep some other data for location changes. Instead, you workflow with provider will be next:
Besides, LiveLocationProvider contains different useful parameters about live location
This way of live locations handling is based on coroutines Flow and allow you to pass some external Flow with EditLiveLocationInfo. So, workflow:
flow {\nvar i = 0\nwhile (isActive) {\nval newInfo = EditLiveLocationInfo(\nlatitude = i.toDouble(),\nlongitude = i.toDouble(),\nreplyMarkup = flatInlineKeyboard {\ndataButton(\"Cancel\", \"cancel\")\n}\n)\nemit(newInfo)\ni++\ndelay(10000L) // 10 seconds\n}\n}\nval currentMessageState = MutableStateFlow<ContentMessage<LocationContent>?>(null)\nhandleLiveLocation(\nit.chat.id,\nlocationsFlow,\nsentMessageFlow = FlowCollector { currentMessageState.emit(it) }\n)\n// this code will be called after `locationsFlow` will ends\nscope.launch {\nhandleLiveLocation(\nit.chat.id,\nlocationsFlow,\nsentMessageFlow = FlowCollector { currentMessageState.emit(it) }\n)\n}\n// this code will be called right after launch will be completed\nSee our example to get more detailed sample

In this case all examples will just throw exception like:

First of all, you will need to use one more library:
build.gradle:
implementation \"io.ktor:ktor-client-okhttp:2.0.1\"\nDependency note
In the snippet above was used version 2.0.1 which is actual for TelegramBotAPI at the moment of filling this documentation (May 22 2022, TelegramBotAPI version 2.0.0) and you can update version of this dependency in case if it is outdated.
For configuring proxy for your bot inside your program, you can use next snippet:
val botToken = \"HERE MUST BE YOUR TOKEN\"\nval bot = telegramBot(botToken) {\nktorClientEngineFactory = OkHttp\nproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(\"127.0.0.1\", 1080)\n}\nExplanation line by line:
val botToken = \"HERE MUST BE YOUR TOKEN\" - here we are just creating variable botTokenval bot = telegramBot(botToken) { - start creating botktorClientEngineFactory = OkHttp - setting up engine factory of our bot. On the time of documentation filling, OkHttp is one of the engines in Ktor system which supports socks proxy. More you can read on Ktor site in subparts about engines and proxyproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(\"127.0.0.1\", 1080) - here we are setting up our proxy. Here was used local server which (as assumed) will connect to server like shadowsocksAPI extensions is a module which you may include in your project in addition to core part. In most cases this module will allow just use syntax like bot.getUpdates() instead of bot.execute(GetUpdates()), but there are several other things you will achieve with that syntax.
This functionality allow you to build bot in more unified and comfortable way than standard creating with telegramBot function
buildBot(\n\"TOKEN\"\n) {\nproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(host = \"127.0.0.1\", port = 4001) // just an example, more info on https://ktor.io/docs/proxy.html\nktorClientConfig = {\n// configuring of ktor client\n}\nktorClientEngineFactory = {\n// configuring of ktor client engine \n}\n}\nIn standard library requests there are no way to download some file retrieved in updates or after requests. You may use syntax like bot.downloadFile(file) where file is TelegramMediaFile from telegram, FileId or even PathedFile from GetFile request (sources).
By default, you should handle updates of Live location by your code. But with extension bot#startLiveLocation you may provide all necessary startup parameters and handle updates with just calling updateLocation for retrieved LiveLocationProvider.

Behaviour builder with FSM is based on the MicroUtils FSM. There are several important things in FSM:
State - any object which implements State interfaceStateHandler (or CheckableHandlerHolder) - the handler of statesStatesMachine have two methods:
start which will start work of machinestartChain which will add new state for handlingThe most based way to create StatesMachine and register StateHandlers looks like in the next snippet:
buildFSM<TrafficLightState> {\nstrictlyOn<SomeState> {\n// state handling\n}\n}.start(CoroutineScope(...)).join()\nFull example
You may find full example of FSM usage in the tests of FSM in MicroUtils
So, you must do next steps before you will launch your bot with FSM:
There are several extensions for TelegramBot to create your bot with FSM:
All of them will take as an callback some object with type CustomBehaviourContextReceiver and will looks like in the next snippet:
telegramBotWithBehaviourAndFSMAndStartLongPolling<YourStateType>(\"BOT_TOKEN\") {\n// here you may use any operations from BehaviourBuilder\n// here you may use any operations from BehaviourContextWithFSMBuilder like strictlyOn and others\n}\nIn the previous pages about updates handling and was mentioned that currently in the most cases you should use Flows. So, there is an improvement for that system which hide direct work with flows and allow you to create more declarative logic of your bot.

on* extensions for BehaviourContext which allow you to create reaction on some updatewait* extensions which you may use in buildBehaviour function, but it is recommended to use it in bodies of triggersAs was said above, there is buildBehaviour function which allow you set up your bot logic. Let\u2019s see an example:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour {\nonCommand(\"start\") { // creating of trigger\nval message = it\nval content = message.content\nreply(message, \"Ok, send me one photo\") // send text message with replying on incoming message\nval photoContent = waitPhoto().first() // waitPhoto will return List, so, get first element\nval photo = downloadFile(photoContent) // ByteArray of photo\n// some logic with saving of photos\n}\n}\nIn most cases there are opportunity to filter some of messages before starting of main logic. Let\u2019s look at this using the example above:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour {\nonCommand(\n\"start\",\ninitialFilter = {\nit.content.textSources.size == 1 // make sure that user has sent /start without any additions\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\n}\nOR

If you prefer to receive Result objects instead of some weird callbacks, you may use the next syntax:
safelyWithResult {\n// do something\n}.onSuccess { // will be called if everything is right\n// handle success\n}.onFailure { // will be called if something went wrong\n// handle error\nit.printStackTrace()\n}.getOrThrow() // will return value or throw exception\nAlso there is more simple (in some cases) way to handle exceptions with callbacks:
safely(\n{\n// handle error\nit.printStackTrace()\nnull // return value\n}\n) {\n// do something\n}\nThere are two types of handling:
safely(\n{\nit.printStackTrace()\n\"error\"\n}\n) {\nerror(\"Hi :)\") // emulate exception throwing\n\"ok\"\n} // result will be with type String\nsafely, but this type by default allow to return nullable value (when exception was thrown) instead of just throwing (as with safely): safelyWithouExceptions {\n// do something\n} // will returns nullable result type\nThe most simple way to configure exceptions handling is to change CoroutineContext when you are creating your CoroutineScope for bot processing:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour (\nscope = scope,\ndefaultExceptionsHandler = {\nit.printStackTrace()\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\nOR
val bot = telegramBotWithBehaviour (\n\"TOKEN\",\nscope = scope,\ndefaultExceptionsHandler = {\nit.printStackTrace()\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\nHere we have used ContextSafelyExceptionHandler class. It will pass default handling of exceptions and will call the block in most cases when something inside of your bot logic has thrown exception.
According to the documentation there are several ways to work with files:
typealias for the FileId)There are several cases you may need in your app to work with files:
FileId (for sending in future)The most simple way to send some file is to get file id and send it. You may get file id from any message with media. For example, if you have received some Message, you may use asCommonMessage conversation to be able to get its content and then convert it to some content with media. Full code here:
val message: Message;\nval fileId = message.asCommonMessage() ?.withContent<MediaContent>() ?.content ?.media ?.fileId;\nWAT? O.o
In the code above we get some message, safely converted it to CommonMessage with asCommonMessage, then safely took its content via withContent<MediaContent>() ?.content and then just get its media file id.

Result of these calls is defined in type of any request (for example, for GetMe request the result type is ExtendedBot). As a result, you can avoid any extension api (like special API extensions) and use low level request with full controlling of the whole logic flow.
As was written above, it will require some request:
val updates = bot.execute(GetUpdates())\nResult type of GetUpdates request is Update. You may find inheritors of this interface in Update kdocs.

Besides, it will be very useful to know more about updates retrieving.
As you know, Telegram have the feature named Media Groups. Media groups have several differences with the common messages:
Row updates
In tgbotapi there is no any additional handling of media groups by default and in case you will use simple bot.getUpdates, you will get the list of row updates and media groups will be included in this list as separated messages with MediaGroupPartContent. In that case you may use convertWithMediaGroupUpdates to be able to work with media groups as will be described below
In case you are using standard long polling (one of alternatives is telegramBotWithBehaviourAndLongPolling) or webhooks updates will be converted uner the hood and as a result, you will take media groups as a content in one message:
telegramBotWithBehaviourAndLongPolling(\n\"token\"\n) {\nonVisualGallery { // it: CommonMessage<MediaGroupContent<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>>\nit.content // MediaGroupContent<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>\nit.content.group // List<MediaGroupCollectionContent.PartWrapper<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>>\nit.content.group.forEach { // it: MediaGroupCollectionContent.PartWrapper<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>\nit.messageId // source message id for current media group part\nit.sourceMessage // source message for current media group part\nit.content // VisualMediaGroupPartContent\nprintln(it.content) // will print current content part info\n}\n}\n}\nKDocs:

require works like as, but instead of returning nullable type, it will always return object with required type OR throw ClassCastException:
val message: Message;\nprintln(message.requireContentMessage().content)\nThis code will throw exception when message is not ContentMessage and print content when is.
when extensions will call passed block when type is correct. For example:

Alternative variant will use the other SetWebhook request variant:
SetWebhook(\n\"address.com/webhook_route\",\n\"some_file_bot_id\".toInputFile(),\n40, // max allowed updates, by default is null\nfilter.allowedUpdates\n)\nAs a result, request SetWebhook will be executed and after this server will start its working and handling of updates.
startListenWebhooks","text":"This function is working almost exactly like previous example, but this one will not set up webhook info in telegram:
val filter = flowsUpdatesFilter {\n// ...\n}\nstartListenWebhooks(\n8080, // listening port. It is required for cases when your server hidden by some proxy or other system like Heroku\nCIO, // default ktor server engine. It is recommended to replace it with something like `Netty`. More info about engines here: https://ktor.io/servers/configuration.html\n{\nit.printStackTrace() // optional handling of exceptions\n},\n\"0.0.0.0\", // listening host which will be used to bind by server\n\"subroute\", // Optional subroute, if null - will listen root of address\nWebhookPrivateKeyConfig( // optional config of private key.

The difference here is that in case if this bot must not answer or send some requiests - it will not be necessary to create bot for receiving of updates.
includeWebhookHandlingInRoute and includeWebhookHandlingInRouteWithFlows","text":"For these extensions you will need to start your server manualy. In common case it will look like:
val scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default)\nval filter = flowsUpdatesFilter {\n// ...\n}\nval environment = applicationEngineEnvironment {\nmodule {\nrouting {\nincludeWebhookHandlingInRoute(\nscope,\n{\nit.printStackTrace()\n},\nfilter.asUpdateReceiver\n)\n}\n}\nconnector {\nhost = \"0.0.0.0\"\nport = 8080\n}\n}\nembeddedServer(CIO, environment).start(true) // will start server and wait its stoping\nIn the example above server will started and binded for listening on 0.0.0.0:8080.
